Overview
Grieg’s high reputation as a genial miniaturist caneasily obscure the striking force and individualityof his chamber music.
Henning Kraggerud and Håvard Gimse, two of Norway’s most distinguished performers, chart the evolution of Grieg’s original style from his early Op. 8 to what he called the ‘wider horizons’ of his Third Violin Sonata of 1886–87.
